New scan to CAD bundles now available for SOLIDWORKS users

Artec 3D has teamed up with the world renowned, market leaders in CAD software to bring engineers and product designers the best 3D experience possible, including one of Artec Studio’s most long-awaited and exciting features – the ability to seamlessly export 3D scans into CAD programs in just one click.

Artec Studio 11 users can now export 3D models directly into SOLIDWORKS by using one of two professional plugins, the new Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS or DezignWorks. SOLIDWORKS is one of the most widely used and recognized CAD programs in the world, perfect for reverse-engineering, industrial design, fast prototyping, analysis and more.

Both options are available to buy from Artec’s authorized resellers. The plugins can be purchased alone or as part of one of our new price bundles to save you both time and money.

The newly released Geomagic plugin has been developed by 3D Systems and has been specifically designed to convert your 3D scans into solid parts. The combination of mesh editing and point cloud processing, automatic and guided feature extraction and accurate and fast exact surface fitting to organic 3D scans help create useful feature-based solid models. Now, you can scan virtually anything and create manufacturing-ready designs.

The DezignWorks plugin was released by Creative Dezign Concepts, Inc., a long-standing SOLIDWORKS Gold partner over the last decade and a company with extensive experience in 3D solutions. This plugin was designed to especially work with SOLIDWORKS, providing a local extension of the parametric environment and a fast and stress-free file export.

Design X users can similarly enjoy a new, seamless workflow with direct export from Artec Studio 11. Special price bundles for an Artec 3D scanner, Artec Studio and Design X are also available from official Artec 3D resellers.

All prices are in U.S. dollars.
